PROMPT November 27th

Things have progressed well in your town/city with the Pandemic. So well that you've been allowed to return to the office instead of working from home. Your co-worker Karly, is sneezing and coughing and refuses to wear a mask. Who do you call, or do you let it slide. Tell us why you would act that way.


Being an RN working in a hospital, (but now retired), I would have been working the whole time. The Hospital I worked for is now a huge corporation with numerous hospitals, urgent care centers and specialty units spread around the metro Atlanta area. If I had been working I would have been exposed from caring for Covid patients. All employees are mandated to be vaccinated, as they should be .

Now if I worked in a different situation, like you have here. Since I am a believer in masks when you might have an airborne illness, I would be upset. This would be a Human Resources or health care problem so I would call them and let them handle it. I would stay away from that person and consider them to be a health hazard.

I am just used to wearing a mask when I was working. I did if I was ill, changing dressings, protecting immunosuppressed patients or with certain procedures so I have a hard time understanding medical workers that refuse vaccines/masks etc. It is a selfish and reckless behavior and I don’t have tolerance for it.
